Here is some text that is going into the new div. This is text that is going to wrap around the map. I am going to type some more text to make sure that it actually goes around the map. So, far, so good. The map is aligned to the right and the text is actually filling up the space on the left, and now, lets see if it will actually wrap around the bottom of the map. Why, yes, it does!

Just a little more typing now to make sure that everything is laying out exactly like I want. What I might do is to make this a special class object with its own formatting, but it seems to be doing just fine as it is.
